I buy extra when I can because of the minus side... It is almost impossible to get in here! I don't mind queuing up to wait at a restaurant, but every time I try to go they are lined up out the door. I have tried to go at off-times and it's still busy. Being so busy, the experience at the counter always feels rushed and there is nowhere to sit, so I never stick around once I have my bagels. I realize it's a good problem for a restaurant to have, but it still makes me want to go elsewhere. Most times I do. The bagels are a definite 5+ stars. The overall experience is 2 stars at best. Splitting the difference and giving them 3. I keep going back (well, trying to, at least) because the bagels are that good. Your results may vary. If you figure out a decent time to go in, give me a holler and let me know. I'll buy you a bagel!

Stopped in last night after class to pick up a short rib plate to go; it was super cold and I was…read moreglad to get back into my warm truck, but man-oh-man was that a tough drive with the amazing smells from the to-go box wafting through the cab! I had planned to have it for lunch the next day, taking time to crisp the edges in the air fryer before devouring the source of those smells - but alas, it was too great a temptation and I tried a small piece when I got home. Small, meaning like TWO OUNCES that had fallen apart from the main rib into the mound of pasta and chunky red sauce. Sliced garlic, chunky tomatoes, and the essence of beef all through it made for a pretty tasty side dish that I ended up giving to Tiff. I was saving room for the MEAT. So, that little piece that dropped off to tempt me was eaten and savored. It was soooo good. Still, I managed to save the rest of the rib for lunch the next day - I crisped that beautiful short rib up, as promised, and shared the pasta with Tiff - we had a delicious meal and both gave thanks for the food, for Leo and for Ashleigh, the awesome server who packaged the boxes up so beautifully and made sure we were well taken care of even though we took it home. Looking forward to my next visit to Leo's - short rib pizza anyone???

I stopped in at 7:00 AM on a Thursday, prime donut time, and was honestly shocked by the…read moreexperience. There were no hot donuts available, and the ones I did get tasted noticeably stale, like they had been sitting far longer than expected for that time of morning. On top of that, if you want to mix a dozen, there's an additional charge of $0.79 per donut. That adds up quickly and feels excessive for something that's pretty standard at most donut shops. I genuinely try to support local businesses whenever I can, but experiences like this make it difficult. When you're paying more, you expect better freshness and basic flexibility. If you're looking for fresh donuts and a smoother experience, you may be better off making the short drive to Mandeville or Slidell, it's likely worth the extra time.

They're $10 on Mondays - get in here and get you one as soon as you can...then get another. Now I can't wait until Monday. But, I was in there over the weekend, and tried a recommended dish - the Bayou Omelet. We split the dish, which we ordered with perfectly crisped hash browns (my description, not the menu), and a cathead biscuit. What's a cathead biscuit you may ask? So did we. It's a biscuit as a big as a cathead! And guess what, I hope I don't run into that cat, 'cause he's a big-un'. But back to this omelet. Dang, y'all, it was sooo good - the seafood was fresh and tasty, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and every bite screamed "we love you, thanks for stopping in!" Had some hot, black coffee with it - also pretty good...good enough for a second and third cup, for sure. Two visits in and still impressed - if you make it out, leave some time for a little stroll around the little town of Abita Springs...the Brew Pub is great for an after dinner pint to wash down whatever amazing treat you had at the Cafe'.

Celiacs, rejoice! There's a spot in town for us…read more My husband is Jewish and has wanted to try Tavi for awhile. The problem is we live in Houston and only come to the area to see my parents twice every year. On our final night, he said he wanted to go to Tavi. Wish granted. We got a reservation on Open Table (highly recommend) and headed that way. Will was our server (and was also the bartender). He was incredible. He explained how the kitchen has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items so celiacs and gluten intolerant folks won't react. Words cannot express how much that means to us. Additionally, they could do the fried chicken hummus and use rice flour to bread it instead of wheat. We ordered it. Upon arrival, it was so incredibly good. They brought fresh vegetables (crudite) to use instead of pita (it's $8, but they are homegrown and fresh). My husband, who can have all the gluten in the world, enjoyed his with pita. He put it on his plate. The pita also came with olive oil and is made in house. You can watch them bake it in the wood-fired oven. The pita is also the base for the flatbreads. When it came time to order our real food, I got the shrimp and subbed couscous for the rice. It was like a fried Israeli rice with pistachios. Lots of crunch and excellent. The shrimp came in a New Orleans style bbq sauce. I could have drank just the sauce (and taken some years off of my life cause it was butter). My husband had the lamb shawarma since they were half off on Saturday. His came with fries. He was so impressed. If you come and split an appetizer, you could easily split a shawarma. The portions are huge (not on the shrimp, though). You definitely need reservations if you have a larger party. It's not too loud inside, but there's ongoing chatter in the background. I'd also recommend planning on staying at least an hour. They won't rush around. Parking can be a pain, so allow extra time for that. We will definitely be back!!

The food has consistently been excellent; my daughters treated me here for Father's Day, and we were all very satisfied. We started with the large onion rings, which were substantial enough to nearly fill us up. For our entrees, I had the BLT, my youngest daughter ordered a hamburger, and my eldest chose the cheesy fries. Everything was well-prepared, and the milkshakes and iced tea were both top-tier. While service can occasionally be slow during peak hours due to staffing challenges, the staff on duty are always friendly and accommodating. Furthermore, the prices are very reasonable. This was not our first visit to the Big Easy, and it certainly won't be our last. If you are looking for fast food, the major chains are located just down the street, and if you are seeking fine dining, this is not that either.
